On saturday i woke up at a ridiculous time, i think it was around 6am or something, and i just thought to myself oh wow my sleeping pattern is actually pretty on point but then i continued sleeping and ended up waking up sometime after nine. I had a nice breakfast and i enjoed my coffee without feeling too rushed or tired. Aaaand let me just tell you, it was so relaxing after a really busy and stressful week.
Not even after the first 24 hours of being in Berlin i got pretty desperate to find some new people to hang out with so i found this group on Facebook that has been made for the new people in Berlin to make friends and to find company. After i was accepted in the group by the lady who had invented the whole thing i decided i would write a little something on there and just see what happens. Suprisingly to me there was a lot of people getting back to me. One of them was this girl called Loubna who was born in Morrocco but currently lives in Belgium.
After talking with her for a bit, we decided we would meet during the weekend because of my lack of free time during the week. We finally met then on saturday around 2pm at Alexanderplatz and then we just went from there for a little stroll (read 7 hours:'D) around the city and we did some sightseeing, shopping and had dinner together. I was suprised how easy it was for me (i have my shy moments) to go and meet someone who i didn't know at all. But we got on really well and there were no awkward nor silent moments between us.
We actually got on so well that we decided to meet up again the next day. This time though we were joined by a british girl from the same hostel Loubna was staying at. Later on the day the three of us met up with a girl who's half french half welsh and with a boy who's halfly from the philiphines and halfly from Saudi Arabia. We had a pretty international posse thing going on there, but it was so nice and everyone was so friendly and interested in each of ours stories of how and why we ended up in this beautiful and diverse city of Berlin. It was also nice to hang out with people who are in the same exact situation, living in a unfamiliar city with not too many friends.
As it got later we all got pretty hungry and thirsty for the german beer (not that big of a fan myself) so we found this really cool place in Rosenthaler Platz called Transit in which we ended up spending a couple of hours just having chats about all of the possible things you could talk about. So yeah last weekend all in all was pretty awesome and i met a lot of lovely people. It's too bad that Loubna and the british girl had to leave today to go back home but we made a deal that if they were to come back during the time i'm still here, we would definately meet again (:
Here's a couple pics from last saturday and sunday (:
